Following last week’s chemical attack, the West has engineered a
media campaign to facilitate a military incursion, says Russia’s Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov. The diplomat also cast doubts on the veracity
of US and European claims about the incident.“Official Washington, London and Paris say they have
incontrovertible evidence that the Syrian government is behind
the chemical attack in Damascus, but they have not yet presented
this evidence. Yet, they keep saying that the ‘red line’ has been
crossed,” Lavrov said during an emergency press conference in
Moscow.
“Now, we are hearing calls for a military campaign against
Bashar Assad.”
Lavrov said that the US, Britain and other countries have
assembled a “powerful force” and are “readying their
ships and planes” for a possible invasion.
Last Wednesday, footage began to emerge of civilians in a
Damascus suburb suffering from what appeared to be the effects of
a neurotoxic gas.
Previously, Barack Obama stated that use of chemical weapons
would be a ‘red line’ in the conflict, which would have
“enormous consequences” for the Syrian regime, though the
US president appeared more cautious about possible intervention
in the interviews over the past few days.
Medical aid group Doctors without Borders have reported that at
least 355 people have died as a result of the incident.
The Syrian opposition, which has been involved in the 30-month
conflict with the government of Bashar Assad, said state forces
had been behind the release. The Syrian government has denied the
claims, saying that the use of chemical weapons after repeated
warnings from the international community would be
“illogical”.
In his conference, Lavrov questioned the rebel version of events.
“There is information that videos were posted on the internet
hours before the purported attack, and other reasons to doubt the
rebel narrative.”“Those involved with the incident wanted to sabotage the
upcoming Geneva peace talks. Maybe that was the motivation of
those who created this story. The opposition obviously does not
want to negotiate peacefully.”
Lavrov also said that the UN expert team that is currently in
Damascus, investigating the attack, “does not have the
mandate” to produce an official ruling on who was responsible
for the chemical release.
“The experts in Syria have the mandate to determine if
chemical weapons were used, and if so, which ones, but not who
unleashed this attack” Lavrov told the gathered media.
“The UN security council will make the final decision about
the perpetrator based on this evidence and all the analytical and
factual materials available on the internet and in other
media.”
Regardless of the culprit of the incident, Lavrov warned that
“repeating the Iraqi and Lybian scenario” and bringing in
outside forces, would be a “terrible mistake that will lead to
more blood being spilt”.
The minister reserved particular outrage for the possibility of
NATO staging a strike on chemical storage facilities without a
United Nations mandate, labeling the idea “extremely
dangerous”.

Im afraid its all a bit deja vu again with the so called 'evidence' of an atrocity committed. The truthseeker website actually predicted that 'evidence'would be conjured up to give a reason for invading syria. Problem is the russians and chinese are likely to get involved in this one - world war 3 ......
